Premium Archival Smooth Matte Fine Art Paper (230 gsm) Premium Archival Matte Paper is a smooth, neutral-white, matte paper for high-quality fine art, photo reproduction, and open-edition decor. The paper supports accurate color reproduction and high-contrast, high-resolution output, and is acid-free for a longer print life with pigment inks. It features a heavy weight (230 gsm), and an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging.   Uses of Fine Art Matte Papers Mood, Vintage, Style, Text: Matte papers are often used if you want to convey a more subtle mood to your photo. Vintage style photos and artwork are displayed much better on matte paper – shiny glossy or semi-glossy papers would take away from this effect.   Solid Colors / Lower Contrast, Black & White: Matte paper works well for images that have large swatches of solid or similar colors, and images that generally have lower contrast. Fine Art Matte paper is also often used for Black and White photography and images.   Larger Prints, Fingerprint resistant: If you are printing larger sizes, matte paper often works better than glossy. As glossy paper prints are shiny, larger prints often catch the reflection of lights when viewed. Matte papers are not shiny, hence do not have this issue. Matte papers are also more fingerprint resistant than Glossy and Semi-Glossy papers, and are easier to handle.
